I may need a bit of expert help here from a friendly Nav ... come back quick Brian

Bengerman ... (Just out of personal interest ... I know ... I'm a sad Bu99er) ... Would I be correct in assuming that you routed PAED direct to W/P 90N then direct to ENDU ? Clearly there is a Great Circle Route PAED (61°15′05″N 149°48′23″W) to ENDU (69°03′21″N 018°32′25″E) Direct. Initial Heading 5.5°N c. 3428mi ... but I'm not sure if 90N is on that particular GC (or more correctly I can't do the Maths).

Notwithstanding the above ... your 90N claim is accepted
